Lot Essay

"Until I was about seven years old, I lived in a house that stood in an open field. My room and the house were my domain. I read comics, but I perceived them as something outside of my little kingdom. It wasn’t until I was ten or eleven that comics and toys became real to me…Telling a story in a comic strip is like painting on a canvas — both processes use a specific frame." - Yoshitomo Nara
